Actually I do not know how much spam this list contains. But thats using CRM114 as the most efficient spam filter I have ever had. But it requires training and training requires reading lists. Nothing that I like to ask of debian post- and listmasters given the high amount of lists and those quite plenty high volume lists. Anyway suggestions to them should go to them - instead of to this list. I did not see the spam at all until Hans´ response to it. In his fury he made the spam visible to everyone who uses a capable spam filter and otherwise likely would not have noticed it at all. Thus I repeat my plea not to respond to spam. It just does not make any sense. (Again I feel myself challenged to just feed direct responses to spam to CRM114 as well even at the - with CRM114 - rather slight risk to not see legitimate mail from the responding person again.) I think it is wise to let this thread come to an end. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
